For once the otaku award for the most accomplished Valentine’s Day devotional display looks to have been granted not to moeblob fans but to JoJo fans – thanks to some almost inedibly gorgeous chocolates, otherwise known as “ita-choco” and a popular culinary spectacle online.

Naturally other characters featured heavily – for those wondering about some of the character choices, a very high proportion of Valentine’s Day chocolate gifts in Japan go to friends and family rather than just darling paramours:

As a matter of fact, PPG is quite a popular cartoon in Japan, as well. Why do you think it got its anime version in the first place…? It is a big hit there, perhaps evenmore than it was on continents like South America and Europe. Therefore, yes, it makes total sense for it to get its choco-portion.

You are not the only one feeling that way. Hell I’m female and think the day is stupid for the amount of money that goes into it. Plus for that 1 day the price of everything remotely Vday related is 25-50% higher

In case anyone has forgotten, Valentine’s Day was started as a gimmick for the greeting card/floral/confectionery industry in America. A way for them to have at least 1 day in the year when they can make a lot of money and sell out of some stuff.
